Unfortunately, they still do not have the funds to pay for a bone marrow transplant. To suppress the growth of cancer cells, doctors have had to prescribe Zhanna endless courses of chemotherapy. However, this is a highly toxic treatment, and her small, weakened body cannot withstand such harsh measures. The results of her tests showed that the shock doses of chemotherapy have greatly enlarged the little girl's liver. Doctors had to stop the chemotherapy, which poses a danger to controlling the growth of cancer cells.
"It's very hard to live a life of anticipation. Every time the BMT is postponed, you get so scared. What if the cancer cells start growing again? What if her exhausted body can't withstand another course of chemo? My daughter's hair has fallen out significantly from the treatments. We delayed cutting it for as long as possible, but eventually, we had to. I could barely convince her to go through with it. Her legs are very sore—she can't even take a step—but she remains in a fighting spirit. My little, but so brave girl! The hospital staff gave Zhanna a bubble show to make her feel less sad about losing her hair. They support us—bless them! Zhanna's sister, Malika, started first grade this year. I'm very anxious because I wasn’t able to prepare her for school or be present at such an important event. I miss my children and my family very much. But right now, saving our youngest daughter is our main priority. Dear people, please help us! The doctors say it is too risky to delay the BMT any further. We are in a desperate situation!" cries Zhanna's mother, Feruza.
Zhanna's story has reached a critical moment—it is DANGEROUS to delay the bone marrow transplant. Help this little girl receive life-saving treatment in time!
May this time offer chances to reflect on the past and look to the future. The future belongs to our descendants, our children, and we can trust them! However, they need our support.
